Judith Campisi Death: The Buck Institute for Research on Aging community are mourning the death of Dr. Judith Campisi who passed away this weekend. Judy was a scientist with a difference. She was likened to a giant in her community. Dr. Judy died following a long battle with breast cancer.
Buck Institute for Research on Aging wrote: “The scientific community has lost a giant. Dr. Judith Campisi was an incredibly accomplished scientist that moved cancer research forward for humanity at The Buck Institute for Research on Aging. She was an even better, no-nonsense, and kind person.
She took the time to pressure test a company I was working on while at Buck and supported me and the company at an early stage. Dr. Campisi and I worked on this video together for her lab focused on the impact of chemotherapy and senescent cells. She will never be forgotten. RIP Judy.”
